Cowl-Neck Sweater From Fleece Blanket

Introduction: Cowl-Neck Sweater From Fleece Blanket

In this tutorial, you will learn how to make a comfy sweater with a cowl out of one of those fleece blankets I'm sure you have lying about the house. The large cowl in this sweater has a nice, draped effect, and also doubles as a hood.

Fleece is a great, easy fabric to work with in the winter because it is warm, cozy, and does not need to be hemmed.

I have to say, this is the first proper wearable thing I've ever made and my god do I love it. It's slightly too short but it doesn't really matter. I made it out of black, grey and white fleece and I'm super pleased with it.

I'm so glad you were able to make your own sweater! That makes me so happy. So sorry it was a bit too short though. That's my bad. I forget that not everyone is as vertically challenged as I am. Still waiting on my growth spurt.

To be honest, i wear everything too long as it is; i'm convinced that one day i will grow to be taller than five foot three. Anyway, thank you for putting it up and stuff - i almost cried when i turned it right-side-out and the sleeves didn't fall out. It was a good moment.

I absolutley adore this! The instructions are seem simple enough. It's been a while since I've sat down and used a sewing machine, but this could be something I could try out. Later on down the road personalize the way I want. It's almost hard to believe that it was a little old fleece blanket before. I bet it's really warm come the the cool weather. Thanks for sharing.
